What is the line-improving effect of liposuction for lower-body obesity patients?
Even if you decide to start dieting,
the lower body often changes the slowest.
Especially for women with lower-body obesity,
fat around the thighs, buttocks, and knees
doesn’t come off easily,
which can make the concern deeper.
In this situation,
“How much can lower-body liposuction improve the line?”
is a question many people are curious about.
For women with lower-body obesity,
liposuction can become
an important turning point
for body-shape improvement.
However, the extent of change you can expect
depends on each person’s condition—
that is, skin elasticity,
the amount and distribution of muscle,
and the scope of surgery.
In this article,
we will look at real cases
to see how much lower-body obesity
can be improved through liposuction,
along with its limits
and important precautions.

Before & After
[Patient Information]
Age: late 20s
Height: 157 cm
Weight: 53 kg
BMI: 21.5
※ Even if a patient has similar specs, liposuction results may vary.
This patient is a woman in her late 20s
with a lower-body obesity type body shape.
She had previously undergone thigh liposuction
at another clinic.
Afterward, she lost about 9 kg,
but due to irregular eating habits
and poor weight management,
she gained over 10 kg again
during the last four months.
As a result, the lower-body areas
where she had liposuction
became less smooth,
and fat accumulated more noticeably
around the buttocks.
In this situation,
she began considering
a thigh liposuction revision surgery.
[Pre-surgery condition assessment]
-Increased fat volume in the saddlebag area, along with increased muscle and fat in the front thighs
-Slight increase of fat on the inner thighs
– Increased fat around the buttocks, with a banana fold forming along the lower gluteal line
[Thigh revision surgery method and surgical scope]
-Full-thigh liposuction revision
-Hip line liposuction
-Correction of the buttocks and banana fold with fat transfer
[Results after thigh revision surgery]
[Results after thigh revision surgery]
Changes in the back thigh line
-Overall reduction in the saddlebag and inner-thigh size
led to a decrease in the upper-thigh width.
-Liposuction of the outer lower buttock
brought out the hip joint line.
A natural hip line was formed
without additional fat transfer
to the hip joint or pelvic line.
-A clear improvement in the banana fold was seen.
-The back thigh muscle line
was shaped into a natural contour.
Changes in the front thigh line
-With reduced inner-thigh volume,
a thigh gap formed from the upper inner thigh
down through the Chanel line.
-By refining the outer thigh area,
a natural line continuing from the pelvis
was created.
Changes in the side thigh line
-With a reduction in the size of the front thigh area
excluding the muscle line,
the protruding contour was improved.
This patient had notably well-developed
fat and muscle in the lower body
compared to other areas.
Even though she had thigh liposuction
6–7 years ago,
repeated cycles of dieting and rebound weight gain
caused her lower-body volume
to increase whenever her weight went up.
With this thigh liposuction revision,
we removed the enlarged fat cells
and refined the irregular contours
that had formed due to adhesions.
This helped smooth and rebalance the line
from the upper thigh area
down to around the knees.
We also refined the hip line together,
forming the pelvic line
in a more natural position.
As a result,
she also gained the effect
of making her legs look longer.
But please remember that
there are clear surgical limits
depending on the size and shape of the muscles,
and the position and structure of the thigh bones.
From here on,
I hope you maintain a healthy weight
without rebound gain,
so you can keep your thighs stable
without needing another revision surgery.
